Englewood regulates all signs visible from public rights-of-way under Article XV, prohibiting flashing or moving illumination and limiting billboards to the Light Industrial district.
Englewood's Sign Regulations (Article XV of the Land Use Code, Ordinance #17-05) govern all signage visible from public rights-of-way and adjacent properties to ensure scale, character, and architectural compatibility. Billboards are prohibited except in the Light Industrial (L-I) District. Signs that flash, blink, move, or change color or intensity are prohibited, as are signs emitting smoke, vapors, particulate matter, sound, odor, or open flames. Sign permits are processed through the Building Department under the Sign and Facade Procedures, and home-based businesses are generally subject to the residential district sign limitations.
Unauthorized signs may be ordered removed at the owner's expense, with municipal court summonses, daily continuing-violation fines, and denial of certificates of occupancy until compliance.
